Night Creeper

I've written about the experiences I've had in the house I'm currently living before and submitted them to this website. Since I've submitted that first story about the house I live in I've had more ghostly encounters, the latest being just last night as I lay in bed.

My girlfriend and I were getting ready to go to sleep last night, when we heard creaking above us in the living room. At first I thought it was my cat rocking in the rocking chair, but then we clearly heard sounds coming from where my computer desk is. And it sounded like someone was on it, except we both knew we were the only two awake at that point in the night.

Then we heard whomever it was upstairs leave the computer and walk over to my couch on the opposite wall. And then sounded as if someone was sitting on the couch. And then nothing else happened, but I know it was my cat because he isn't nearly big enough to sound like a person.

When I asked my mom about if she knew if anyone was awake last night she said she didn't know but that she had gone to the bathroom in the middle of the night. My girlfriend and I already knew that because we had heard her go to the washroom at the same time we had heard someone at the computer desk.

She said she didn't see anyone or hear anyone. Then at about one o'clock in the morning, shortly after that happened, I was grabbing a drink from the kitchen and glanced over at the door, just to make sure it was locked, out of habit, and it wasn't.

But again when I asked my mom about it she said she was sure it had been locked when she came home earlier that night. The weird thing was that neither my girlfriend or I ever heard anyone near the front door at all.
